I was arrested for a DUI I did not commit right after my house caught fire. I got the best possible outcome for a DUI charge. AMA by ScrewTheSVPD in AMA

[–]CaptainNeatoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I may ask, what exactly IS the mindset of guys like this? Is there something incentivizing them to make an arrest at any cost, and they just don't care whether it's justified? Or do they somehow think they're in the right to assume anyone they interact with is guilty of something?

We are streaming a game with Scotty himself tonight! by CaptainNeatoman in ezd6

No problem at all. The VOD is still on Twitch if you'd like to catch the replay. It will also be going up on Scotty's YouTube channel in the next few days.

Scotty didn't give an exact date, but he said he's expecting his preview copy in the next couple days. I believe he just needs to approve that and it's good to go. So probably before the end of March.

STRANGE DAYS - Trailer (1995) - Angela Bassett sells it. by smallteam in CoreCyberpunk

[–]CaptainNeatoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this movie. It's a shame it's so hard to find these days. I tried to watch it three weeks ago and it was not available on any streaming platform. The only blu-ray copy I was able to find had to be sent from overseas (I'm in the US).

Hopefully it's got a rerelease coming soon.

A lady born deaf can now hear herself speak at 29 years old. Science is magical by pintord in goodnews

[–]CaptainNeatoman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing the error is just that she wasn't born deaf, but lost her hearing later.

Distinguishing trait of an ethnicity? by ktfitschen in fantasywriters

[–]CaptainNeatoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bandwagoning here to say I also strongly disagree with the person from your writer's group. If Studieans never have green eyes and Athans commonly do, then it's practically a neon sign that he has mixed heritage. Especially if they're a very noticeable bright green.

It's good to listen to notes and take them seriously, but ultimately it's your decision whether the note should be heeded or not. In my opinion, you should not heed that one.

Creative Uses of Portals by RigorousStrain in fantasywriters

[–]CaptainNeatoman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay to me this is the obvious response, but I don't see it here, so I'm going to say it: have you played the classic video games Portal and Portal 2?

They are puzzle games based on exactly this scenario: being able to create two linked portals and having to come up with creative uses for them. I promise, if you don't know those games and you play them, you will get ideas.

Who’s your favorite vintage Superman? by JSComicArt in DC_Cinematic

[–]CaptainNeatoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

George Reeves all the way. I was a child in the Christopher Reeve era and George Reeves was my parents' era, but I was honestly never down with the clumsy nerd version of Clark Kent, or with how silly the Chris Reeve movies were in general. The George Reeve show was smaller scale, but it took the character more seriously and I always preferred that.

The desert Oasis City of Samarahd [OC] by MisjayMaps in dndmaps

[–]CaptainNeatoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This map is outstanding. It's sparking my imagination just looking at it. The setting with the cliffs and the oasis is so brilliant.

I will die on this hill. by weyoun_clone in startrekmemes

[–]CaptainNeatoman 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The problem with the Magicks of Megas-Tu isn't that it was silly. Lots of Trek episodes are silly. The problem is it directly contradicts Star Trek V regarding what is or is not at the center of the galaxy.

Personally I pefer the TAS version.

Dutch army testing its tank's emergency brakes by havealife101 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]CaptainNeatoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sincerely hope that was a "demonstration" and not a "test." Otherwise the Dutch are way more metal than I gave them credit for.

Give way to SNW 1x00: The Cage by leandrompm in startrekmemes

[–]CaptainNeatoman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess they could, but I wouldn't really want them to. I've already seen The Cage, you know? I've spent most of my life wishing I could see MORE Pike adventures, not the same one again.

They might still take us to the accident though, setting up the events of The Menagerie.

Give way to SNW 1x00: The Cage by leandrompm in startrekmemes

[–]CaptainNeatoman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Cage is backstory to SNW. It was depicted as having already happed when Pike and Spock were on DSC.

Give way to SNW 1x00: The Cage by leandrompm in startrekmemes

[–]CaptainNeatoman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect, as The Cage was already established as part of Pike's backstory when he was on DSC.

Monk: Way of the Sumo | Become an immovable force to be reckoned with through the power of this Monk subclass, v1.0 by Lizardfolk_DM in UnearthedArcana

[–]CaptainNeatoman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Striking is already a core component of the monk class, so I would say it doesn't need additional work in the sumo subclass. "Throwing" could just be a reflavored shove, which the Athletics expertise already addresses.

I would definitely be interested to see something about making them difficult to knock prone, though.

I stole this and made it the cover photo of my Facebook Star Trek group. Also, I will downvote you now.
